On this day, back in 2007, Team India won the inaugural T20 World Cup, beating Pakistan in the finals. It was a truly special moment for the team as they lifted the trophy with a young squad under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

India’s victory in the final, where they narrowly defeated their rivals Pakistan by just 5 runs in an exciting match, was the perfect conclusion to their impressive journey in the tournament. The game was filled with tension and excitement, and India managed to stay calm in the final moments to achieve this historic win.

The final of the 2007 T20 World Cup between India and Pakistan was a thrilling match that fans will never forget. After winning the toss, India chose to bat first, and thanks to impressive innings from Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma, they set a target of 157 runs for the loss of five wickets. Gambhir played exceptionally well, scoring 75 runs off 54 balls, which included eight fours and two sixes. Rohit also made a significant contribution, adding 30 runs from just 16 balls, which featured two fours and a six.

In response, Misbah-ul-Haq tried to lead Pakistan’s innings, but early wickets taken by RP Singh broke their momentum. By the 12th over, Pakistan was struggling at 77 runs for 6 wickets as India took control of the game.

The last over reached an exciting stage, with Pakistan needing 13 runs to win. Joginder Sharma bowled this important over, and it seemed like Pakistan might win since they needed only six runs from the last four balls. However, when Misbah tried to play a scoop shot, he got out, and India won by five runs.
